The Great Debate

Hello and good Saturday evening to each of you. I trust everyone had a good week! We have been hearing a lot of talk in regards to the folks running for President this year. I am not one to get on a soapbox about such things, but I must say I am more than a little tired of listening to Clinton and Obama going back and forth at each other. In my opinion, that is no way for Presidential nominees to conduct him or herself. Each time there is an election, the candidates running seem to spend a great deal of time promising this, that or the other. It's one thing to sit there and make promise after promise, but in my own personal opinion, stop promising things that you can't or won't deliver. Instead demonstrate to the American people the qualities that one claims to hold; give us many good reasons that will persuade us to vote for you. Anyone can talk the talk, it's another thing all entirely to walk the walk.

With all that being said, we must remember to pray for our President, the men and women who serve this country and all of the other elected officials. And even though the candidates sling remarks at each other for whatever reason they have, we can rest assured in one promise that will not be broken. That promise is one that comes from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the ever-constant and always loving God who pours showers of blessing upon us and He always keeps His promises. He is the one we can cling to when times get hard or even if we just need to share something with Him. He will never let us down.

I hope and pray that in the end we will have the person that God wants in office and that He be glorified daily in the work that he or she may be doing. Regardless of who is elected, our President needs our prayers. It is not an easy job and if you have been in management at any point in your life, you know all to well how difficult it is to get all the oars working in the same direction.

Until next time, take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
